Hello, I’m Ashley Nelson. I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and therapist dedicated to helping individuals move from surviving to truly thriving. With a background in psychiatric nursing, emergency medicine, and specialized training as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), I bring over a decade of diverse healthcare experience, blending clinical expertise with a deep understanding of human resilience in the face of crisis. My practice focuses on supporting adults, children, and families through life’s challenges — including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and the unique stressors faced by military members, first responders, nurses, and other helping professionals.
I have a deep passion for working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and complex trauma, providing a safe, compassionate space where healing feels possible. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric care with practical, real-life strategies, empowering clients to reclaim their sense of control, rebuild confidence, and create lives that feel meaningful again.
With additional licenses in Louisiana, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, and Florida, I can see patients via telehealth from across the country.

Hi there, I am Georgina. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 40 years in healthcare overall. My career has taken me through nephrology, home health, and nurse education, and each chapter has deepened my respect for the whole person behind every diagnosis. I am known for warm, holistic care that honors your body, mind, and spirit.
Outside of work I love to give back through volunteering and service, and while my faith is an important part of who I am, I never push it and only bring it into our work together if you ask.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Charleston
Finding psychiatrists in North Charleston starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, reviewing a psychiatrist’s listed specialties can help you find someone whose training matches what you want to address.
Local psychiatry options in North Charleston may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual appointments can expand your choices across South Carolina. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in North Charleston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, verifies that they are accepting new patients with your plan, and shows estimated costs upfront so you can review profiles and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
